I'm open to the possibility that the "us" and "our" in passages like Gen. 1:26; 3:22; 11:7 [cf. Isa. 6:8] include God's angels and/or the "sons of God" and/or the Divine Council. That's within the pale of Evangelical orthodoxy. As Michael Heiser's increasingly popular views on the Divine Council demonstrates [see his YouTube videos and his website on the topic].
However, the majority of Evangelicals believe that the "us" and "our" passages in the Old Testament are allusions to the person of the Trinity. This blogpost will be an ever growing and added to resource on the arguments and evidences for the Trinitarian interpretation.
In the 2nd half of the following video, Anthony Rogers makes a strong Biblical and theological case for why the "us" and "our" passages should be interpreted in a way that affirms some kind of plurality in a monotheistic conception of God [e.g. in Trinitarianism] as opposed to strict monotheism as found in rabbinic Judaism, Islam and New Testament based Unitarians.
